El-P and Killer Mike, t.k.a. Run the Jewels, are gearing up to release a new album. In anticipation, they’ve released a pair of tracks: “Panther Like a Panther” and “Talk to Me”, which serves as the lead single to their forthcoming RTJ3. Now, they’ve mapped out the first leg of dates for their supporting “Run the World Tour”.
The 33-date North American jaunt kicks off January 11th in Philadelphia and runs until the end of February. They’ll be joined on the road by The Gaslamp Killer, Spark Master Tape, and CUZ. See the docket below and grab tickets beginning Friday, November 4th. Update – November 21st: Due to high demand, Run the Jewels will play larger venues in Pittsburgh, Columbus, and Chicago.
